 Hey guys, it's Kevin Today we're going to take a look of this entry-level printer and see its ability to print photos and So we can decide if it's possible to use those Winners to print the professional photos This printer TS6320 It use five cartridges. It's a your typical KCMY K is a black Those for the photos and then has a PG PG black, which is a pigment black does use for text It has two paper sources. One is under underneath the printer and then there's Straight feed tree from the back Which is really nice to have when you print things like labels or Glossy papers We're going to compare this printer to a entry-level professional photo printer, which is absent short-color P600 I know it's not a fair comparison because P600 is about 10 times more expensive than Than this little Canon printer. However, wouldn't be interesting if this Little Canon printer can beat this professional absent printer. That'd be super super nice Those professional printers pretty intimidating even for the black you get four blacks You get a made black you got a photo black a light black and the light light black so those will be pretty super nice smooth grayscale and for the color it kind of okay is I have a sign like sign my gender nice my gender Out of the box the Canon did a pretty well We just did a basic installation and go click a print and print this photo If you get this photo to grandma, she's not going to complain about the color at all for those budget printers Canon only gives only one ICC for everything So let's put that ICC on see if I'm going to improve this picture a little bit The ICC profile name is called Canon AG 2005 it should be installed automatically from your installation desk to your PC or Mac However, Canon, they don't tell you you can use it because They probably don't want to put the photos with their printer. Anyway So the right side is a bit ICC you can see her cheek is a writer. She looked like a more like a real person than vampire In case you don't know how to add ICC to your printer If I have ICC profile does email by somebody you can just right click and do install and For this I already installed. So you can just pick a any picture and then go print and Don't worry about this go to options Click and do color management and Here's all the devices on you On your computer. So we're just going to find this. Yeah, this is a PS6300 printer you can see After can install the cannon doesn't hold it to the ICC profile. So basically you're printing without ICC so I'm gonna add I see either by the file and Then I'm going to find that a cannon That I used There's Canon IG color printer profile 2005 Okay You guys also do it in the Photoshop. We'll do file print You can see the color management section and I ask you I ask you Who's going to handle the ICC profile? So you can see right now. It's like the Saying printer gonna manage the color so printer gonna pick ICC because we already attached ICC to the printer that Second ago, so the printer is going to pick IG 2005 Okay, so as part of it as I am I Often go to I'm gonna manage myself Okay, and then I print what I pick whatever I see I want in this case. I pick this ICC with or without ICC This cannon seems have some problem with the colors Can you see like a bunch of squares they long together from a big patch Rather than gradually merge into other colors Can I see the one on the blue? This one is a with ICC and this with ICC is a pop sim sim thing With ICC the red is a little bit better. It's more gradually Faded into yellow so that's probably why we add a color to her cheeks When some color cannot be expressed, so it's printed on as the other colors So you can get a group of colors just aggregate together Printing color is the easy part. Let's check out check out grayscales You can see it has a pretty nice separation of grayscales and From 255 to 0 and each one is clearly Separated so that's okay there The problem is that the continuous grayscale and you can see there's a definitely a Purpleish band in the middle So that's you have problem of color mixing right there and also I'm kind of feeling that The transition is not as smooth as possible But it's really hard to describe. So if I just look at it, I got a white I got a black then I got something in the middle. I'm kind of have three things here Not a gradually change. It's really harder to say But let's put the absence on top so you can see it On top is absent. So you can see you got a Black got a white on both side in the middle is a really really smooth transition Don't worry about the cannon look a lot Canons black look a little bit deeper and because that's a trick on your eyes I think I can just add a little bit cyan or blue in the in the black So make it look look deeper. However, if you do a color check I did a color check and Absence black is a perfect black If you turn the paper sideways, you're gonna see There are more colors on the cannons that they collapse together and Absence look much much nicer So since we're here, I still put it up. Let's pull them a can on the left absent on the right And that this is what I'm talking about see how graduate is and This and this see those Big blotch of color So so that means purpose something wrong with with the blue and also We talk about how nice the the red is but if you compare to absent Which is it's really really not even a distributed gradually out Versus this versus the cannon the cannons red is still not as good as absence red Okay, so much for a soft proofing Let's scan a real ICC profile from each of the printers. Okay, let's plot a data from both printers I'm using a CIE lab plot. I assume everybody familiar with it. And let me just go over it really quick We're going to put all the colors into a three-dimensional space A vertical axis is the L axis Is from a very very light which is diffuse white To the bottom which is really really dark So if a color is on the top is lighter than the color on the bottom Okay, imagine your zero is here for the A axis As a color towards left is greener If the color goes to your right Is more magenta so from a green to magenta for the A axis So for the B axis if it towards left Is blue if it's a color more towards your right is yellow. So basically This three-dimensional structure capture the color and capture the lightness And this is all the colors that apps and p600 printer can produce that we're putting these really nice three-dimensional space And we call it a gamut plot And if a printer is produced a smaller space that the printer is Is not worth as much as the printer can produce a larger or deeper space Let's load the cannons. This is cannons. You already can tell it's a little bit rougher than the Epson Epson's kind of a lot longer than this If you forget this is what Epson looked like Let's just put them two together I don't have to remember them Okay, now we put the two of them together Let's hide the cannon first And we make the We make the Epson to be a wireframe So this is Epson and Then we'll put the cannon on Okay All those wires That you see is the color that Epson can generate that cannon cannot You can see there's a big huge space here in the blue and And the cyan section that The cannon cannot generate So it's not only the color can generate in terms of deepness if you look at the vertical l axis there There are some some place that the cannon just cannot go So there's a big chunk of color missing from this series of cannon printers Which I will not recommend this printer for color printing So what can you do if your color is this bad? actually Guess what cannon is making a blue cartridge. Okay It's a blue CMI Equally one cartridge that you can use in this series Those printers have a five colors kcm y and pk They don't have a slot for this one only a few models They have a blue slot for blue cartridge just to fix this problem It will be interesting to see if you plug that Blue cartridge in what the ICC for look like It will look like a bird will look like a plant and interesting so maybe If I have money, I mean I probably get another printer that has this blue cartridge And that'll be really interesting to see how much How much cannon collected and if that can can be Comparable to the absent printer Okay, I hope you enjoyed this video Visit us at www.bchtechnologies.com or locally at Grisboro, North Carolina.
